Yesterday we went dress shopping for McKay. I asked Gentry if we could take a quick photo together. I love the camera phones!!!! This is Dani her best friend and roommate at college. She is headed home to AZ on Saturday. We spent today together having a great time. I'm so EXCITED to have Gent home for the summer.
TODAY is her birthday. She is 19 years old today!
We went to the mall. She asked for a new watch. She like the white watch bands like I wear, so we went and got her one. Then we went to lunch at Cafe Rio. It's been a great day together-
PHOTO: We are headed to go try to find her a watch....
She found one that she loved. We enjoyed a birthday lunch... SHE is now NINETEEN. (Dani, Gentry, and McKay)
I love you sweet Gent... I am so thankful that God blessed me to be your mother!
I want to thank you. I was overwhelmed with support, advice, kindness and more with my stalker situation. I had so many emails and phone calls and facebook messages. I have heard from so many women who are or have suffered from similar situations.
So many girls are facing bullying in their own life. It only made me realize that "standing up" and pushing for tougher laws and making sure that our voice is heard is vital. I am a firm believer that we all have freedom of speech. If you don't like something or someone, then stay away from them. What does it matter what someone looks like? how much they weigh? or if you happen to like or not like my designs. It is really nonsense.
I have never understood why my "ex-friend" would even come to my blog and feel such a need to keep contacting me if she really hates me the way she claims. Her focus needs to be on her own family and herself. If we FOCUS on what really matters most in our life, we will be happier. I am choosing that path. That does not mean that I will fight back against her attacks. This matter was so serious that law enforcement has and is involved. I wish I could share more, but legally I can't. In fact, I spent this morning at the police station. I feel like if I can do anything to change the laws and help others to know that THIS kind of harassment/ stalking and bullying is serious and you will be held accountable for your actions. Again, I do not want sympathy. I am standing up to the big bully here. I have learned so much about myself from this experience. I am so much stronger.
One of the things that I am hearing over and over is that MANY of you have had someone in your life that is TOXIC. You were like me and did not listen to that "inner warning" about this person. You thought you could change someone. You may even blamed yourself. This person wanted to work for me and I knew it was not the right thing. When I turned her down...she started this WHOLE mess of constant harassment. How thankful that I did listen and knew she was not the one to work for me. She had done some design work for me in the past and it did not work out. I learned from that experience. If you have any doubts if you cannot trust someone- LISTEN to your heart. I know that I didn't and now for 15 months, I have had to face her rage/wrath towards me and my family.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... I hated to talk about this horrible problem in my life. However, I will not live my days in fear of her. LIFE is so precious and wonderful to allow anyone that type of CONTROL. Here is to HAPPY times and HAPPY posts!!!!!
Today is amazing- wonderful and I am so thankful for SUNSHINE here in Utah. I had the BEST day at bootcamp this morning. I am surrounded by amazing workout friends now. We are like a little gym family. I feel so happy and I am officially a "boot camp" lover!!!!!
I love you Gentry...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my princess!!!!!
